Puppy love

I was about 6-7 not sure when. San Francisco , Miramar street.

There was a girl about my age and we were friends. 

Our parents realized we liked each other  so they arranged a play date.

I recall going to her house and  sitting down for lunch  I noticed she was very particular abut her food.

After lunch she offered some wafer cookies.  I noticed they had a different taste. They were sugar free.

She had diabetes. this was interesting to me since I had no Idea what that meant and was concerned about my Friend;'s health.

I think her name was  Paula but I don't remember. the point of this story is that I became aware of children with serious illnesses.

To look back on it I was also impressed by the cuteness of the formality of our lunch date.
